Your pal, Peggy Pierce . . .Dear Gertrude, Out in the ocean is a big rock. It is full of oysters. Forget me not. I hope you all the happiness in the world. With love, Helen Lester. More next week . . . Awhile back I found some clippings from the WWII years giving updates on our men in service. Beginning today I will be sharing some of those news stories.
